    PUEBLO — This wasn’t the way it was supposed to end.

    “It’s tough,” Chatfield football coach Bret McGatlin said moments after the Chargers’ season came to an abrupt end with a 24-21 loss to Pueblo West on Saturday at Cyclone Stadium in Pueblo. “The guys really felt like they had the opportunity to go all the way this year.”

    For the past few years, D’Evelyn basketball has been a force to be reckoned with in the 4A Jeffco league, and the boys and girls both hope to carry that success into this upcoming season and perhaps improve upon their standings.

    Last season, the Jaguar girls made it to the Sweet 16 before falling to No. 2 Pueblo West, and that was a step back for them. The two years before, they made it to the Great 8.

    With the team comprised of mostly seniors and juniors, the Jaguars are hoping to return to Great-ness, or maybe even a little better.

    LAKEWOOD — Chatfield’s hurry-up, quick-strike offense doubles the pressure on opposing defenses.

    That combination doesn’t do the Charger defense any favors, either. Often, the Chargers barely have time to catch their breath before returning to the field after a quick score by the offense. And they tend to play in the shadow of their offensive brethren.

  • Chatfield gymnastics ends state...

    THORNTON — The final few weeks of the season may not have been kind to the Chatfield gymnastics team, but at the 5A state competition at Thornton High School on Thursday, the remaining uninjured gymnasts put together a performance worthy of ninth place in the team category.

    Leading up to regionals, Chatfield lost two of its top varsity girls in sophomore Morgan Walters, who dislocated her elbow, and junior Megan Kramer, who sprained her ankle.

    That meant the Chargers had to compete without them at state.
